Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Town

Against Leon County at 46.4%, 75% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

At $1,104 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Tallahassee commands. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
